Cable is still a good value for households that watch a wide variety of programming. It's also nice to have a single box and remote with access to live TV, DVR'd shows, and on-demand content. However, that means you're tied to your TV.

With the exception of antennas, cord-cutters will have access to everything on mobile devices and computers. And likely have a much better streaming experience than cable's mess of authentication and myriad network apps. Streaming isn't as reliable as cable TV, and it can be frustrating when routers and modems need to be restarted to get everything working again.

Some programs are simply not available without cable and you'll have to go to a bar, invite yourself to a friend's house, or do something illegal to watch it. If that sounds ok, you can save quite a bit of money by getting rid of cable.
